A KILLING FROST. Fruit Seriously, Injured in Oregon, Washington and California. Dispatches received yesterday at the office of the United States Weather Bureau announce a "killing frost" over all Oregon and portions of Washington, while Northern California was visited with a light frost. The prospect of an immense fruit crop this summer has been most flattering until reports of the havoc created yesterday morning, and fears are now entertained that the pros pective big crop will prove a total failure. Apples maybe saved, as on account of rains and cold weather they are reported backward, but cherries and- other small fruits have received a severe backset and detailed account of the injury sus tained by the unexpected frost is now anxiously awaited. A dispatch from Roseburg, where a signal office is stationed, confirms the report received by the weather bureau in its announcement of a killing frost in that vicinity, and it is anticipated that it has extended throughout the entire Umpqua and Willamette valleys. Mr. S. A. Clarke, of Salem, the well- known horticulturist, says the frost will prove a vety serious matter to the fruit raisers of that vicinity. At Baker City yesterday morning, the thermometer registered four degrees be low freezing point," and a heavy frost on ; at Walla Walla and Spokane, the 'same discouraging reports were received, in dicating that the frost had been general and disastrous.

May day morning those who were on the lookout might have seen a goodly company of young people ol The Dalles embark on the' "good ship Regulator." It was a company of Christian Endeav- orers bound for liood Kiver to attend the first annual convention of Wasco countv of this society. The bright sun shine and eparkling water made the trip very enjoyable. Old Columbia rolled and we old sailors enioved the port. At Husbands we had an addi tion to our number, Mrs. and Miss Hus- ands, who were also on their way to! the convention, joining us here. The igh water made it possible for the j steamer to land near the station at Hood River, where we were met by the recep tion committee, who were designated by badges, and the leaves and fruit of the Oregon grape were the emblem of their authority. THE CONVENTION. At 10 o'clock, after a praise service, the address of welcome was delivered by Rev. Mr. Gilt of Hood River, and re- ponded to by Miss Etta Story of The Dalles, who was county secretary. An open parliament to discuss the work of the . lookout committee was held at 11 o'clock, and proved helpful. During the noon hour the delegates were entertained at the homes of the people of Hood River, your correspond ent being so fortunate as to be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison at their beau tiful home. ' The afternoon session opened with a praise service. At roll call eight socie ties responded, as follows: Four 'at Hood River, three at The Dalles, and one at the Cascades. Reports of the societies showed a large growth and marked advance for Christian En deavors. , A valuable paper by Mrs. Gilt on in- ter-denominationalism was of great in terest to the delegates. During the business hour the conven tion was duly organized, adopting a con stitution and. by-laws and electing its officers. The officers elect are as follows Mr. H. C. Bateham of Hood River, president; E. H. Merrell of The Dalles, vice president ; Mrs. C. E. Aldrich of the Cascades, secretary ; Miss May Rob- bins of The Dalles, treasurer. A pleasant and profitable hour was spent in asking and answering difficult questions connected witn the work of the societies, Mr. Gilt acting as con ductor, after which we again went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison for supper. . EVENING SESSION. Praise service, followed by an address by Mr. Parker of Filmoth on "Christian Citizenship." A paper was then read by Mrs.. Bartmess, "Possibilities of Life." Rev. Jenkins of The Dalles de livered an address on "The Pledge and Its Importance." ' . It was . decided to have a union look' out committee.' The chairman of the convention was asked to appoint the chairman and the societies to elect one each and send the name to the chairman of the lookout committee. Resolutions of thanks were passed thanking the executive committee, the people of Hood River, the churches, school board, D. P. & A. N. Co., and those who gave the helpful papers and addresses. The music interspersed during , the exercises of the convention was very ex pipe Liicjhter. 1 V t TiEVEt WEARS OUT.

To the Esquimau woman, says Dr. Nansen, the mouth is like a third hand, especially in the preparation of skins, which is a very considerable part of her work. As a consequence the front teeth of the older women are often worn away to the merest stumps. The Esquimau method of preparing-bird- skins is extremely peculiar and therefore interesting-, and is thus de scribed: ' - t. The first step is carefully to dry the feathers; then the skins are turned in side out, and the layer of fat is scraped away as thoroughly as possible with a mussel shell or a spoon, and is eaten, being esteemed a great delicacy. Then the skins are hunt? up under the roof to dry. After a few days the last remnants of . fat are removed from them by means of chewing-; then they ; are dried again, washed in warm water with soda and soap three times over, then rinsed our. in very cold water, pressed, and hung- up for the final drying-. If the feathers are to be re moved so that only the down .is left, as, for example, in the case of the cider. duck, they are plucked out when tne skin is half -dry. Then it is thoroughly dried and cut up, and so is ready -for use. - . The chewing is a very remarkable process. The operator takes the dry skin, almost dripping with fat and chews away at one spot till all the fat is sucked out and the skin is soft and white; then the chewing area is slowly widened, the skin gradually retreating- farther and farther into the mouth, often until it disappears entirely, to be spat out again at last with every par ticle of fat chewed away. . This industry is for the most part carried on by the women and children, and is very hig-hly relished by reason of the quantity of fat it enables them to absorb. In timesL of scarcity, the men are often clad enough to be al lowed to do their sharer It is a strange scene that is presented when one enters a house and finds the whole population thus' enjraged in chewing, eaeh with a skin in his month. The peculiar excellence of the Green land bird-skin is due to this process. WANTED. .
